Descriptions
Comment (FraterWork)
This material opens with intensely sweet, sharp-green notes reminiscent of crushed hyacinth stems and fresh fennel. Use it in traces to create the classic "foin coupé" (mown hay) accord when combined with coumarin. Its remarkable tenacity despite low molecular weight makes it invaluable for bridging top to base notes. The powerful herbaceous character transforms floral compositions, particularly white florals where naturalness proves elusive. In hyacinth reconstructions, this material provides the essential sweet-green foundation that defines the flower's character. Tobacco and oriental bases benefit from its warm, nutty facets that add sophisticated aromatic dimension without overwhelming sweetness. Surprisingly this material is naturally found in violet flowers. Traces can be useful in constructing a complex and true-to-life violet accord. aromachem Best Seller
